One month's difference in delivering a release shouldn't be a big deal for anyone, but it will avoid a lot of last minute rushing and frustration in the preparations for it.
We already have skipped the May release. We can't really avoid a last
minute rush, there's always one regardless of when the release is set.
There has already been 3 months preparation time for this release,
another 2 months is hardly rushing. If the git transition is to happen
in the next release cycle, that will require extra time.
